Conquering the fear

The fear of the gocco! You see, bloggy peeps, I've had the kit sitting invitingly in the box for almost a month now. I kinda got the general idea from the great links Claudine posted on her blog here. But I was still scared of ruining and wasting bulbs, screens, paint, etc. And failure usually turns into the shelving of craft toys, something I don't want for this one.

Then I found this great video.....really, someone out there had thought of scaredy cats like me. Because I really need to have it all spelled out properly. So I took the plunge with a little drawing of mine.

And made some little flat note cards.

What a cool gadget that gocco printer is!

Now, I'm thinking of making our own custom christmas cards. In fact, I've got the design already on paper. It still needs a bit of fine-tuning and inking, and it should be ready to go soon.

Wow, the cards look GREAT!!! I've been wanting to buy a gocco screen printer for the last couple of months now but can't seem to find one anywhere. I read somewhere that they don't make them anymore and you have to rely on people selling them secondhand. Is this true? Do you have any advice for where I could find one?Thanks for popping by my blog and your advice for the markets was really helpful that helpful infact that you've won one of the give aways that I had on that particular post that you commented on. All you need to do now is drop me an email to bcsadmin@bigpond.net with your address and I'll post you out your prize...

Flogging my stuff

About Me

I was originally tinkering with the idea of a six-month sabbatical (holiday), due to having the bub. Six months became a year...and now we're coming up to two years. Well, I gotta have something to occupy myself. So I blog and I craft and I look after the bub, not necessarily in that order.
